Game on (time traveler riddles game)

Mine too...?

Further connections for the phrase "skip five" that make me believe we're looking for Tau: each user with an email has their # correspond to the
number in the backwards alphabet, by skipping _005 you look are skipping upsilon and on to tau (who's bio says "you must know me by my return").
What are we supposed to tell tau, he's never online.

Well... I see that the U2U's I've sent haven't been checked... so either the "real" Time traveller will check U2U's, and the wrong ones just
have the U2U's rot in their box for all of eternity, or the Traveller just hasn't checked his box yet.

I wish I had more time to play around with all the clues. From what I can figure, they are talking about one of the new xbox 360 games. There is a
new one out called timeshift. There is also dreamfall, and a new tomb raider. Ive been checking out the new modern combat one as well, but mostly
because my hubby would love it.

from what I followed in this, is this supposed timetraveler doesn't seem to care much about any of the people from this time. If he had something
important (that's if it's not a game) he would have told someone.

So my conclusion, don't give a $%% about it. The guy is an arrogant basterd, so why treat him differently and give him all the attention he wants.

Here I am with the final announcment. All that have been paying attention, take heed.

APR. 2006
A DEADLY VIRUS HAS MADE LANDFALL IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE START OF WHAT IS GOING TO BE A LONG AND DANGEROUS PATH FOR HUMANITY
In the years to come nations must unite to fight this and other worldwide threats. The human species will face its demise if countries maintain this
aloof attitude to one-another.

Please pay heed to these warnings.
I know them not because I travel time, but because I am time itself. And I can offer this knowledge because of that.

AUG 04
THE FREAKISH WEATHER BEGINS AND CONCERNED EYES LOOK TO THE CLOUDS

i.e: August 13 - Hurricane Charley kills 27 people in Florida after killing four in Cuba and one in Jamaica. Charley made landfall near Cayo Costa, FL
as a Category 4 hurricane. Charley was the most intense hurricane to strike the United States
since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
AND: August 16 - Severe flooding in the village of Boscastle in Cornwall.

i.e: December 26 - The strongest earthquake in 40 years originates from the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Sumatra island in Indonesia, measuring
9.3 on the Richter Scale and creating tsunami waves that sweep across much of the coastlines of Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, the Maldives, Burma,
Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. At least 290,000 people are confirmed to have died from South Asia to as far as South Africa.

1 2004
THE FIRST EVENT OF WHAT WILL BECOME A SERIOUS GLOBAL HEALTH CONCERN WILL EMERGE FROM THE GIANT RED STATE

i.e: Nothing of note relating to either the SARS or H5N1 diseases happened in this year. BUT the date in this post is undefined. ALSO, there is a
reference to a health threat two years on from the year 2004.

Ok... I'm confused. The first post by atled looks like a clue, then atled posts the events and such in the next one, seeming as though he is a plyer
in the game, and not part of it. His profile also suggests this. So what is the first post of him? A clue posted somewhere else, but reposted here?
Or an actual clue from atled??

Well, I suppose I'm out of this. I'm not sure what everyone else did, but I didn't fair to well with working out those clues. There are currently
2:20 hours remaining until April finishes according to GMT. Good luck to anyone else!

I wont have access to a computer until 10 hours after the deadline, so as you can imagine I'm not very happy.

Welp, got me. I hope they tell us when it is all over. Going by atled, and the greek letters, you would think we would be looking for Chronos, but
you got me. Then atled says he/she is not part of the game? Too confused here. Looks like time is up. Oh well, was fun, but took too
much......time.

Conservatives gain control of parliament in controversial elections; their win is consolidated in a second round of voting in May. Thousands of
reformist candidates were disqualified by the hardline Council of Guardians before the polls.

Other: I will need the help of one person when I return to confirm the events of which we spoke.
If all is well, my return will signal that disaster has been averted.

Other: I came to this site because it will be popular at the time of my return. Stay aware and informed of the world around you as you watch and
learn from my warnings. There is time to avoid the tragedies that wait you.

Other: My return is scheduled to take place before the sixth cycle. At that time, the one who knows me will be pulled aside to know what is to be
known, to see what is to be seen, to learn all that time can offer, and attain the reward that is provided. You must know who I am. You must learn to
see when I arrive. You must gather the information on each of my posts for my review. The one who finds and details each, and provides them to me, on
the time of my return, at the place of my return, and in good faith seeks to learn what is to learn shall be elevated to attain the reward provided to
me to give.

You spoke of returning once a tragedy had been avoided, which I believe is the attack on Sears Tower (April 19, 2004) that has been
averted.

I sent that when he said when i return, name my avents... and that if he did return, it meant that another big thing had been avoided. Going from
posts from ISP and such, I concluded it was the Sears tower thing. But seeing as how none of the U2U's and such I sent were read, I probably didn't
have this or any other solutions correct.

We will be retaining the X-Box 360 prize for a new game or event that will start soon after we move to the new servers.

The final solution for this puzzle game ended up being harder than expected, even though members expertly blazed through the early clues. As a
consolation, there will be more than one prize associated with the next official ATS game.

So is this game, with all the established clues and such, going to be incorporated into the next game you were talking about? All I want to know is
the answer! Bugger winning an xbox, I just have to know the answer to all these confusing riddles!

oh, ahh, btw, will this transition to the new servers take much time? How long is ATS going to be offline? A few minutes at the most I would hope . .
